Paul Hansbury serves as a Research Fellow at the School of Cross-Faculty Studies, University of Warwick, where he joined the Institute of Global Sustainable Development (IGSD) in January 2024. He is embedded in the Warwick Ukraine-Belarus Hub (WUB-Hub), focusing on critical geopolitical research in Eastern Europe.
Hansbury holds a PhD in International Relations from St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, establishing his academic foundation in global security dynamics. His research spans international relations theory, security policy, and the political evolution of post-Soviet states, with concentrated expertise on Belarusian domestic unrest and its entanglement with the Russia-Ukraine War. His seminal 2023 monograph Belarus in Crisis: From Domestic Unrest to the Russia-Ukraine War (Hurst Publishers/Oxford University Press) anchors his scholarly contributions, while his role as associate editor for the Journal of Belarusian Studies underscores his influence in regional academia.
At Warwick, he operates through the WUB-Hub initiative housed in the Ramphal Building (R2.09), driving collaborative research on Ukraine-Belarus relations. His work bridges theoretical international relations with urgent security policy applications, particularly regarding hybrid warfare and state resilience in contested geopolitical spaces.
